Local 10’s Janine Stanwood shares her breast cancer survival story
I also have a history of breast cancer in my family: my mom had it, my dad’s sister had it, and it has struck numerous cousins, too. It was the MRI that saw what the mammograms and breast ultrasounds missed: a nearly eight centimeter area of cancer in my left breast. So it was a very extensive area,” said Susan Kesmodel, M.D., director of breast surgical oncology at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center/University of Miami Hospital and Clinics. I can’t believe how lucky I was to hear from others who unflinchingly shared their own cancer stories with me. Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Miami Dolphins are teaming up again to fund cancer research.
